Tinseltown's brightest stars are stepping out in style to attend the Balenciaga runway show. Some eye-catching moments include Katy Perry leaving little to the imagination, and Nicole Kidman and her lookalike daughter in their matching looks. These appearances have caused quite a commotion online.
Iconic musician Katy Perry and legendary actress Nicole Kidman, and her daughter, have stunned the public with their jaw-dropping ensembles at the Balenciaga runway show in Paris, France. Photos and videos shared online of the stars at today's event (June 26) have ignited a flurry of varying reactions from social media users who had a lot to say.
Katy Perry Bares It All in Revealing Outfit
Attending the Balenciaga event free of any inhibitions, the "Dark Horse" artist opted to wear minimal clothing. Katy adorned torn sheer tights that sat as low as under her midriff. She paired them with nothing but a thick, black mink coat, leaving her toned stomach and cleavage on display.
Emulating an edgy-chic vibe, she accessorized with black designer shades and closed-toe heels that were covered by her black tights. Katy fashioned her black locks into a slicked-back long ponytail that was wrapped with many hair ties.
Several videos show the musical fashionista strutting her stuff when she arrived on the red carpet for the event and once she got inside. One video shows the popular fashion outlet WWD asking the singer how her outfit came to be and why she chose to wear it.
In response, Katy disclosed, "Well, it came about, I had a few options, which was lovely—it's my first Balenciaga show, thank you—and, it came about because I wanted to be streamlined, sexy, sensual. Simple but chic, and I think I wanted to wear my nylons right above my C-section scar. That's the lowest I was gonna go."
Alongside WWD's post of the star, they captioned, "@katyperry front row for today's @balenciaga fall 2024 haute couture runway show in Paris. Interview and video: @jdiderich."
British Vogue also took to Instagram to post their own video of Katy and other celebrities, like Nicole, Charli XCX, Joey King, and Teyana Taylor, arriving for the fashion event. A part of their caption reads, "Hot on the heels of her #VogueWorld Paris cameo, #KatyPerry arrived at the #Balenciaga AW24 couture show."
While public reaction to Katy's revealing, all-black look has been somewhat mixed, the majority of people are unimpressed with her outfit, with many commenting that it is inappropriate. "Embarrassing," asserted an Instagrammer in the comment section of WWD's post.
Someone on X commented, "What's happening to her 😭." Another spectator wondered, "Sooooooo women don't wear clothes anymore [?]" "Attention [seeker]. What a shame she has went to these lengths to get Attention," remarked someone else.
Echoing the disdain, an X user penned, "Inappropriate." An observer on Facebook who must have watched the WWD video of Katy talking about where she wanted her nylon tights to be placed, said, "I mean you can even see a [cesarean] section scar… not a great look. What was she (and her stylist) thinking 🤔."
On the other hand, some felt that Katy Perry slayed her look. "She looks stunning.." swooned an admirer while another praised, "Flawless."
Nicole Kidman and Her Daughter Look like 'Clones' with Their Mother-Daughter Looks
In the same way that people shared their thoughts on how Katy looked, many also shared their opinions on Nicole, who was seen chatting and laughing with the "Roar" singer at some point during the show.
Joining the "Eyes Wide Shut" talent in the spotlight was her daughter, Sunday Rose Kidman Urban. The mother and daughter, who looked as though they could easily pass as twins, both wore beautiful black dresses.
While Nicole's garment was sparkly, short-sleeved, and draped down to the floor, Sunday's was shorter, ending mid-thigh. The young beauty's dress was also long-sleeved with extra shoulder padding and made out of velvet.
Sunday paired her ensemble with sheer black tights and closed-toe black heels. Both the mom and daughter wore black designer shades as well.
Many photos and videos show the dynamic duo working the camera as they pose for pictures outside the event and inside. Showing off their close bond, Nicole and Sunday were also seen holding hands at different moments.
Like Katy, Nicole and her daughter were spotlighted in the Instagram posts of various fashion outlets like Vanity Fair France, who called Nicole a queen, and Australia's 10Magazine. "Nicole Kidman and daughter Sunday say hi to 10 Magazine Australia today at the Balenciaga show," the publication wrote.
Madame magazine also shared an alluring video of Nicole waving and smiling for the many cameras who fervently snapped pictures of the Hollywood star. People who saw the mother-daughter duo couldn't help but take to online platforms to comment on their appearances.
Gushing over both Nicole and Sunday, one fan swooned, "Nicole looks great, she took her daughter Sunday with her. Both Nicole and Keith's daughters are perfect models. 😍." Jumping on the praise bandwagon, another admirer lauded, "Nicole is [a] Barbie Doll 🔥."
Someone who thought Nicole Kidman and Sunday looked so similar questioned, "Clones?" However, amid the compliments, came a few criticisms.
"Nicole Kidman gained weight 😮😂😂😂😂," critiqued a social media user, while another targeted Sunday, writing, "New nepo baby in the game in 3.2.1."
